Pui Ching students entered for the 2020/2021 International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition and won the Gold Award.

Over 500 teams of university and secondary school students from all over the world, including more than 6000 contestants, participated in the iGEM competition this year.  Due to the pandemic, this year’s competition was especially challenging because students were faced with problems such as school suspension, the closure of the laboratories, restrictions on the number of people allowed in the laboratory, challenges with the purchase of drugs, etc.  The hosting organization also made new requirements such as video and multi-media production.  Students attended virtual discussions with fellow contestants from all over the world and answered questions from the judges in real time.
